After he got married, Alec Baldwin closed his Twitter account and then reopened it with a new profile picture, a new attitude, and a new name: the lofty-sounding “Alec Baldwin Foundation.” And then, overnight, the overheated, temperamental screamer-at-the-99% who engaged in nasty fights with fans and regularly made a public fool of himself suddenly morphed into a oh-so thoughtful tweeter of charitable causes, thoughtful scribblings, and Mighty Big Thinks.

Taking to his Alec Baldwin Foundation Twitter account, Baldwin wrote that President Obama would have a commanding lead if he wasn’t black.

“If Obama was white, he’d be up by 17 points,” Baldwin tweeted.

Last week, Baldwin tweeted “Romney will continue the GOP legacy of crippling less powerful Americans in order to elevate rich, white, heterosexual, Christian males” if elected.

So Obama’s not losing because he’s an abject failure, he’s losing because the same racist country that gave Obama a record number of votes in 2008 suddenly got a look at him, saw that he was black, and will now vote against him.
